Inscription. Charles Grover Burgoyne was an early community builder and public benefactor in Daytona Beach. At the corner of Beach Street and Orange Avenue, he had a casino built in 1915 as a free entertainment center for the public. Over the entrance hung this greeting: "Our latch string's always hanging out, for good friends old and new; Come on inside, our hearth is wide, we've saved a place for you." This new structure honors this heritage.
